The Golden Globes were held last Sunday and that means one thing, awards season is upon us! This year it was the 71st Golden Globes and lots of high profile stars showed up including Leonardo Di Caprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Â Emma Watson and many more. The Golden Globes is always the first awards ceremony of the year so attendees pull out all the stops with their outfits, and this year the stars were definitely taking risks with their dresses. However I have to say that I was quite disappointed with the red carpet look. The risks that the celebrities took seemed a little too much, leading to a lot of worst dressed stars who could have looked amazing. Here are my best and worst dressed of the Golden Globes 2014.
Â
Best Dressed
Lupita Nyong’o impressed everyone in this red Ralph Lauren dress with a cape. This was her first awards ceremony and she was undeniably one of the best dressed women of the night.
Â
Jessica Chastain always looks so glamorous on red carpets and this year was no exception. She wore a custom made Givenchy dress with Bulgari jewellery to match.
Â
Olivia Wilde looked stunning in this green sequined Gucci Premiere dress. She pulls it off really well as a maternity wear and green is definitely her colour. The loose waves and simple jewellery definitely complete this look.
Julia Roberts what were you thinking?! This Dolce and Gabbana dress would be gorgeous without a white shirt underneath it. The two items of clothing just do not work together and the look really isn’t appropriate for a high profile red carpet event.

Zoe Saldana had the potential to look amazing with her sleek hairstyle and gorgeous makeup but this Prabal Gurung dress had too much going on. The length doesn’t seem right and it would have looked so much better without the straps.
Â
As much as I love Lena Dunham, and her TV show Girls, this Zac Posen dress was definitely one of the worst of the night. The yellow colour is too bright and the fit of the dress is so unflattering because of the bulkiness at the bottom.
Â
This dress was just too much for French actress Berenice Bejo. The Giambattista Valli dress would have looked stunning without all of the unnecessary floral decoration.
Â
Aubrey Plaza’s Oscar de la Renta gown was also one of the worst dressed of the night. The two shades of purple do not go well together and paired with the huge bow and the way the skirt is draped make the dress seem really dated. Also the shoes and bright pink clutch make the situation even worse.
Â
Sandra Bullock truly disappointed in this Prabal Gurung dress. The pastel bright girly colours do not go well together with the large block of black in the dress. However Sandra’s hair and makeup looks fantastic.

Even though a lot of the dresses were bad this year, Paula Patton deserves the top spot on the worst dressed list. She would have looked stunning in a simple white dress but the huge ruffles on one side are terrible and overbearing.
Â
Best After Party Looks
Emma Watson looked incredible at the Golden Globes after party. I much preferred this Theory dress to her red carpet look before the ceremony.
